Revelation 7:11

And all the angels stood round about the throne
The holy and elect angels, even all of them, the ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, the innumerable company of them, who are represented in the same position; (See Gill on Revelation 5:11);

in token of submission and reverence:

by celebrating the perfections of his nature, and ascribing to him the glory of all his works.
